Re: help with finding prop

Suggest you visit "PROPCO PROPS" web site for props to fit the older 50 hp Merc with the 11 tooth spline. They are one of the few that still make those props.

They offer pitches from 10-15. If you contact them and describe your boat, they will help you choose the right pitch.

Look under the prop nut. You may find a Merc number beginning with a 48 ending with the pitch probably 11 or 12".
unless your boat is very light or heavy.
